Now he’s threatening tariffs on movies made outside the United States, somehow. Maybe. Who knows.

Here’s A BUNCH OF TV News

The Last of Us lost about 32% of their viewers after that character’s death. (I suspect a lot of them will be back, though. They just need time to grieve.)

And yes, that was Drake and Josh‘s Josh Peck in last night’s episode.

I am OUTRAGED on behalf of Blue’s Clues Steve. What do you mean he was paid less than every waiter he knew?

I’ve been saying the dating bubble inside “Bachelor Nation” was weird and incestuous for years now. What this little rant leaves out is that all this interdating has a strange effect on Bachelor in Paradise, in that a lot of these people meet off-camera and then use the show in bad faith as a means to hook up. It’s very weird.

Party of Five ended 25 years ago and I am so old.

Jason Isaacs loves to stir the shit:

I am often irritated by articles about the “unanswered” questions on Lost, because I honestly think the show answered a lot — if not most of them — people are just being dense. That said, these six questions are pretty solid. It’s hard to argue that the show did enough to answer them. (The obvious answers are 1. the writers just didn’t have enough time or bandwidth to flesh them out and 2. casting issues; but I agree that those aren’t good enough answers and shows a lack of effort on the show’s part.)

Lorne Michaels would reportedly pull Chris Farley from SNL for weeks if he thought he was too out of control with drugs and alcohol.

In other Lorne Michaels news, he’s still angry about a 2008 sketch about singing lamps. (It sounds justified.)

I’m not mad at these ideas to shake up Love is Blind.

MSNBC is shaking up its daytime schedule ahead of its split from NBC News — but just a little bit. I doubt casual viewers will even notice.

I had no idea Melissa Gorga was selling sprinkle cookies but 1. what took her so long and 2. good for her.

Ted Danson turned down a guest appearance as Sam Malone on Frasier.

Could you BE any more gullible?

Sarah Jessica Parker doesn’t have time for your little Met Gala.

You just keep being you, Countess.

Jussie Smollett has reached a settlement with the city of Chicago six years after staging a hate crime. What a dumb mess.

Be careful, Mike Tirico!

Get better soon, Julien Baker!

PolUGHtics

I don’t even know where to begin. Honestly. It’s only been like 10 days since I’ve done a deep dive into this administration, and I do. not. know. where. to. look. first.

Do we begin with him declaring that movies made outside of the country are a “threat to national security” and announcing he’s putting 100% tariffs on them? Because Jon Voight told him to? But no one even knows what any of that means? And the entertainment industry is FREAKING OUT? In large part because their stock value plummeted this morning on this news? And it was so bad that the White House has already walked the announcement back?

Or should we talk about how he signed an Executive Order demanding that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting end funding to PBS and NPR, even though the Corporation for Public Broadcasting isn’t under the Executive Branch and such an order is illegal? And the Corporation for Public Broadcasting itself is suing President Celebrity Apprentice because he’s trying to remove people from its board because he doesn’t have that power, only the Senate does?

Or maybe we begin with his intention to defund the National Endowment for the Arts, and pulling back grant money that has already been awarded?

Or do we check in on how the Paramount/Skydance merger is going, and how the FCC Chair is out here lying, claiming that President Extortionist’s bullshit lawsuit against 60 Minutes and CBS has nothing to do with their approval of the merger? All while another FCC Commissioner who somehow hasn’t been fired yet, is out here calling it all for what it is, a “campaign to censor and control”? And President Can’t Keep His Mouth Shut is also saying the quiet part out loud? Oh, and how he’s also threatening to drag The New York Times into it, too, for pointing out the fucking obvious? TAKE IT TO TRIAL, SHARI.

Or we could start with how in the face of all of this, 60 Minutes continues to give President Dicktator the finger, covering his attack on law firms, and thus proving themselves to be braver than (some of) the law firms themselves? Or how the interview with Kamala Harris that he’s suing over has been nominated for an Emmy? (PLEASE LET IT WIN. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET IT WIN.)

Or we could talk about some of the interviews that he’s done since we last checked in, that one with Terry Moran of ABC News, where he didn’t recognize a photoshopped image? Yeah, well, he also revealed that he doesn’t have any idea what the Declaration of Independence is, either.

The takeaway from Trump’s ABC News interview? Don’t trust the truth, trust HIS truth #DailyShow #Trump #ABCNews

Or maybe we should start with yesterday’s interview with Kristen Welker at Meet the Press where he said the most ALARMING THING I have ever heard a President say:

I’M SORRY, DID YOU JUST SAY YOU DON’T KNOW IF IT IS YOUR JOB AS THE PRESIDENT TO UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION? I need you to just pause here for one moment and imagine, just imagine, if Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, or HEAVEN FORBID, Barack Obama said, out loud, with their mouths, on national television that they didn’t know whether or not they needed to uphold the Constitution.

The entire GOP:

I mean, legitimately, legitimately, this is impeachable. BUT LOL, NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.

Or maybe we talk about the White House posting an image of him as the Pope? Or maybe we talk about the White House posting an image of him as a Sith Lord?

Or maybe we talk about him wanting to reopen Alcatraz?

Or maybe we start with how when was asked by Stephen A. Smith — who is Black — about his attempt to extort Harvard, he went on a bizarre tangent about Harlem?

Or maybe how he wants to rename Veterans Day, “Victory Day for World War I,” and May 8, “Victory in World War II Day” EVEN THOUGH THE WAR DIDN’T END FOR THE UNITED STATES UNTIL SEPTEMBER 2?

Or maybe we talk about him having a tantrum over Karl Rove? Or a tantrum at Howard Kurtz? Or a tantrum over his sinking polls? Or a tantrum over Amazon briefly considering publishing how much the tariffs would add to a product’s price?

Or maybe we talk about him firing Mike Waltz, his national security advisor after it was revealed that he was STILL USING SIGNAL and messaging other people, including Marco Rubio, Tulsi Gabbard, and JD Vance, all of whom should ALSO BE FIRED?

Or maybe we talk about how the economy contracted for the first time in three years? Or maybe we talk about how he told Americans that children will just have to make do with “two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more,” and that “They don’t need to have 250 pencils. They can have five.” Or we talk about how travel to the United States from other countries is plummeting?

Or maybe we talk about how he won elections for liberal parties in Canada and Australia? Tell you what, let’s end on that one, as it’s the only bright spot I see right now. Let us pray we have our own reckoning here in the States in 2026.
